Does anyone have any links to pics for the Pearl's Glacier Bay

Alaskan sailing? I have been before, but many years ago, and I'm trying to describe to potential cruisers the scenery as you travel the inside passage. Thank you.

I posted several of our photos on webshots. The link is in my signature line.

Great pics ute-fan. It is fun to see the pics in the spring time. I remember seeing them before we traveled. We were in room 8022...across from you and we loved it.

Here are our pics from Sept.9th sailing. Not labeled well...enjoy.

would like to ask if you were able to get close in at Glacier Bay in May ? We were there in Sept. 05, and got very close. We are going next May and would love to hear about your trip, what sort of clothing did you wear ? was it too cold? did you go on excurisions to see the Whales or were they from the ship? Where did you see the bear? I loved your pictures! Please share any thoughts and ideas ! Thanks!:)

We got very close to the glaciers at Glacier Bay. I don't think that is as much of an issue there as it is at places like Sawyer Glacier and Hubbard Glacier. We had nicer weather this last trip than we did 3 years ago when we went the first part of June, but I'm sure that's just luck. The only time I needed my coat on was at the glaciers (coat, gloves, etc. came in handy) and again when we on our Misty Fjords cruise.

 

The photos of the whales were from a tour with Harv & Marv in Juneau. We did see whales from the ship, but being down closer to the water line like we were in the small boat from Harv & Marv was absolutely breathtaking! All the whale photos are from that excursion.

 

The bear was on the drive to Carcross. We did the longest train ride excursion, where you ride a bus from Skagway to Carcross, and do the return train ride all the way from Carcross to Skagway. Last year was the first year it was operating.

 

Have a wonderful trip! We are hoping to go again next May too, but it's dependent on my finding a new job, and hoping that a new employer will let me take a week off!

Yes, we have a lot of scenic pictures of our June 17th cruise on the Pearl. I'd say it would be hard to describe the beautiful scenery you encounter -- even pictures don't do it justice!
